Wings Comics #72 is an aviation-themed anthology featuring multiple stories. The main story, "Captain Wings," depicts a sky duel between Captain Wings and the arch criminal Colonel Kamikaze, described as "The Devil's Disciple," involving aerial combat. Another featured story, "Air Heroes," follows pilot Butch and his wingman Skon in a World War II naval engagement where they encounter Japanese bombers and torpedo planes, with Skon downing enemy aircraft while Butch's plane is attacked and forced down. A third story, "Suicide Smith," involves a character attempting to stop a sabotaged plane from taking off, with action centered on airfield combat and pursuit. The issue also previews an upcoming story, "Paddy Finucane of the R.A.F.," for the next month.
